I was riding on the highway when I experienced a complete loss of power. A red screen appeared on my instrument panel to state there was a serious problem with my traction motor. The vehicle was recovered to the dealer. The fault was cleared. I collected the motorcycle and suffered a repeat failure on the journey home - this time on the interstate. A complete loss of power. The vehicle was again recovered and after a software update, returned. I suffered another red screen issue at my home, on my drive. The motorcycle has been recovered and is back at the dealership.
